Peanut Butter is to Jelly as Waterproof Mascara is to Day Care

....gigs up! Today is my first day back at work and Gavin's first full day at day care. I attempted to ween he and I both on to the routine early this week so that today wouldn't be so hard. In hind sight, that was like peeling the band-aid off slowly vs. the quick rip!

Monday I dropped Gavin off for an hour...I was in pretty good spirits but needed to call Scott and my Mom for support....just a few tears. Wednesday I dropped him off for about three hours....bawled my eyes out before I could even get out the door...the teacher had to give me a hug, and my hair-cut lady gave me a glass a wine while she did my hair to relax me! Thursday I dropped him off for two hours while I went to an eye appointment. He and I did just fine...no tears on my end that is. So, I thought today would be easy, especially since Scott was doing the drop. Well, Gavin was such a sweetie this morning. He was so cuddly when he woke up, so happy all morning...smiling and laughing all the way out the door with his Daddy. Mommy cried before the boys got out the door...then my Dad called me and I could hardly speak to him. Thanks for the call, Dad! I really appreciate you checking on me this morning and crying with me! :) I was able to get a little of eye make-up on. Why? So I could cry it off in the car and when I got to work. Kelly (my Director), thanks for the big hug this morning!
